Note

Ran into Mark Jenkins at the trailhead just as I was getting ready to ski and he was finishing up. He said it had been so good he had skied an extra 5 kms, and it really was good. I headed straight out for the Summit Loop and did repeats on the loop until it was dark. As good as it was, I only saw one other person besides Mark the whole time I was out--but then Summit is at the far end of the trail net, and it gets little use at the end of the day.

I came home and it felt a little chilly when I walked in the door. That's not unusual. I usually turn down the hear when I'm going to be out for a while, and metabolism slows down after skiing during the drive home, and it just seems normal to feel a little chilly for a bit afterwards. However, this time it didn't take too long before I recognized I wasn't feeling well and there were other reasons why I was feeling chilled. So I bundled up, took it easy the rest of the evening, and slept about 9 1/2 hours, feeling mostly better in the morning the next day. Don't think I had any fever, but if I did, it was mild.

Weird, but something along these lines happens to me every so often--maybe once in every two years or so. I don't for sure remember the last time I've been sick-sick, but I think it was in the spring of 2012. Maybe it's been that long since I've even had a cold.
